I've promised to check out wmpupmem and see if I could fix it. Well, here are the results:

freememapplet v1.0(*)Complete rewrite, absolutely no code has been copied and pasted (hence the new name)
(*) Gtk1 instead of Xlib. This fixes the problem with JWM swallowing the app...
(*) Tooltips
(*) Enhanced color flashing
(*) Color, time intervals and memory level definitions can be easily set through defined values
(*) Now displays the size in KB, MB, GB, etc. format, instead of only MB.

It is originally made for Puppy2, I'm not sure if this has any use for Puppy1. Please test it (just copy binary to /usr/bin and change .jwmrc-tray from wmpupmem to freememapplet), and post you impressions.

lior2b, the file .jwmrc-tray is found 2 places: /root/.jwmrc-tray and /initrd/pup_ro2/root/.jwmrc-tray. I replaced them both to make sure. Nothing happened so I restarted X to start the program.

It is an application that shows in the system tray when it is running, like SeaMonkey would if it were running. When I clicked it in the system tray, the window showing free memory showed up in the upper left-hand corner of the desktop, covering the "Home" icon. I found that I could right-click on it, choose "move" and drag the window around.

I didn't make a dotpup because freememapplet will be available (I hope ) in the official Puppy2, hence, you can't install it easily as other programs, and it won't show up in the menu. It shouldn't be in the menu anyway, because it is a tray app. Detailed installation insctructions might be:
1) Download freememapplet-1.0.tar.gz
2) Extract and copy the binary to /usr/bin:

3) Change .jwmrc-tray as described above
4) Restart X (you can restart JWM, but than you will have to kill the old wmpupmem app...)
Expected behavior: A tray app should appear, displaying your free memory...
